Tanmay Mishra is playing for Parkophene Cricketers in the Kanga league, Why is he not include in the squad? Seren Waters who is studying in the UK should be in the side for Important tournaments too.

Some good partnerships with Mark Wagh in 2013 club cricket -

Couple of shocks in the first set of games. A narrow win for Hong Kong over Scotland and PNG smashed the Kenyans.

 

[uvelocity]

yeah barras

 

[Pothas]

Hong Kong beating Scotland is something I thoroughly approve.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Take that Alex Salmond!

***Official*** ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2013/14

Four matches already completed and two currently underway.. so I thought it was time for the thread. Ten teams competing for the final two spots at the World Cup, with Ireland and Afghanistan already qualifying and not playing this tournament.

Big upset a couple of days ago with Hong Kong beating Scotland, despite a blazing Mommsen hundred. Scottish limited overs cricket is complete toilet at the moment, can't help but more disappointed in Scotland falling away than be pleased for Hong Kong bridging the gap a bit. In other news, uvelocity's bois from PNG gave Kenya a hammering.

Namibia are currently in the process of smashing the Netherlands as well which would be regarded as a pretty big upset by many, but with Namibia fresh off cricket in the second tier South African domestic competitions and the Netherlands without Cooper, van der Gutgen and ten Doeschate, it was always a potential banana skin.

Agree.

 

[Prince EWS]

Agree.

Haha thanks for that NUFAN. Merged.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Hrmmm. A good few shocks early on here. Peter Borren not taking advantage of familiar conditions. Throws the qualification door wide open.

 

[Prince EWS]

Namibia beating the Netherlands was always on IMO. Slightly surprised at just how easily they ran through the top order though.

 

[brockley]

UAE on their way to 2nd win,they we're tipped to qualify for the world cup.
Holland missing too many players.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah it'll be slightly disappointing for the World Cup proper if the Netherlands don't qualify as they have the players to cause an upset or two at full strength.

 

[Prince EWS]

Viljoen picks up MOTM; not surprising giving his First Class form in South Africa this season.

 

[Prince EWS]

PNG as expected have hammered Uganda.

Looks like Scotland should get back on the horse with a win over Nepal here; the Nepalese struggling at 85/4 chasing 250.

 

[Furball]

No Ireland or Afghanistan in this?

 

[BC_fan_abored]

No Ireland or Afghanistan in this?

Already qualified thanks to finishing top 2 in the World Cricket League. This tournament is for the remaining two slots.

 

[BC_fan_abored]

Honkers with a massive win over Canada today. They are looking likely to make it to the next round given Nepal's looked weak. Should be HK, UAE and Scotland from that group.

 

[BC_fan_abored]

Namibia shaping up as another surprisingly strong team. Did it the hard way over Kenya but it could have just been a case of slow and steady of fast and risky.

 

[Pothas]

So I am done with England. Hong Kong all the way from now on.

 

[Pothas]

Hong Kong! This is really working out for me.
